e National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted a wetter-than-normal June. In fact, the agency predicted that Colorado wouldn’t experience
its usual summer drought. After enduring a month of hail storms and monsoon-like rains, the Jefferson County community now must navigate summer activities and high water levels.

The city received a portion of the sale of the Denver Broncos Football Club in 2022. Since then, the city has been vetting projects to fund, with
special attention on those projects which will impact Wheat Ridge kids.
During the Monday meeting, the council approved funding a new playground at Anderson Park. e resolution appropriates $384, 662.99 to GameTime. e company will install the new playground at Anderson Park.

sources and warnings from Christine Billings, Director of Epidemiology, Planning and Communications at Je erson County Public Health.
Stay away from fast-moving water.
Fast-moving water may seem ideal for tubing, kayaking and other activities. However, Billings warned that the high waters such as those of Clear Creek can be dangerous. According to Billings, you should avoid camping, picnicking, and parking near fast-moving water.
“Avoid any areas that already have high or rushing water, as these can ood quickly,” Billings said.
She added that conditions can change quickly.
She urged people to keep pets and kids away from fast-moving water, as they can be swept away easily.
Don’t attempt to drive into six inches or more of water.
Six inches of water does not seem like a lot, but according to Billings,
so eliminates another barrier to expanding affordable housing in the city. Daycare zoning changes approved. The zoning changes to expand the daycare options available to parents in the city. The approved ordinance now allows daycare centers in areas zoned Neighborhood Commercial and Restricted Commercial. Other changes were made to update the language on the ordinance as well. According to the ordinance, the change will significantly reduce barriers to child care in Wheat Ridge.

that is more than enough to sweep an entire car away.
“Do not ever drive into standing water, as cars can be swept away in far less water than one would expect (6 inches to a foot),” she warned. “In addition, underneath water, roadways can be eroded or damaged.”
So, driving could be impeded by unseen hazards.
Billings urges drives to abandon their cars if the car stalls in the water and move to higher ground.
Put the entire family in life jackets. Billings urges families to bring along otation devices and life jackets when they plan any activities around Je erson County waterways this summer.
“Even small amounts of swift water can make you lose your footing,” Billings said.
is is equally true for adults and kids. Bring some kind of oatation or life jacket for the entire family to be safe.
Beware of debris floating along. A tree branch may seem harmless,

but the rushing water adds force and the water may hide the size of the debris.
For these reasons, Billings said to stay on alert for debris in high-water areas. Billings referred to the National Weather Service website for further precautions.
ere, the NWS warned people to avoid ood waters altogether.
“Standing water hides many dangers including toxins and chemicals,” the website said. “ ere may be sharp objects under the water or the road could have collapsed.”
Assess waters carefully before entering.
Get immunized.
According to Billings, now is the time to make sure that your immunizations are up to date before you go out to play in the local waterways.
“All immunizations, including tetanus, to help mitigate the risk posed
by debris in a ooding situation,” Billings said.
Stay alert.
Billings urges Je co residents to sign up for the Lookout Alert System to stay informed of ash ooding, especially after such a wet June.
“ e Lookout Alert is the o cial emergency noti cation system for our county (as well as our neighbors, Broom eld and Westminster),” Billings said. “Residents can sign up to receive critical noti cations about emergencies near them.”
In addition to signing up for alerts, Billings advised Je co residents and visitors to watch the weather.
“When there is rain or storms in the forecast, avoid any areas that already have high or rushing water, as these can ood quickly,” she said.
Summer fun is possible despite all the additional water that Je erson County is experiencing this year. Just take the proper precautions to keep the entire family safe.

Homelessness pushes out to the Colorado foothills and Denver suburbs
BY ALAN GIONET CBS NEWS COLORADOIn an RTD lot next to an open power outlet, they made their home. Kari Vernon and her boyfriend were living by a power box near a light pole in the green grass. There was a pile of things including suitcases and clothes, covered by a loose tarp. But it hadn’t been raining.
“Missed the bus that last three days because only three buses that leave here in the morning and three that come here in the afternoon. So if you miss them three buses, you’re stuck here,” she said. They had come to Evergreen to get away from the city.
“Denver, I will never stay down there,” she said.
“It’s like once the sun goes down, it’s crazy.”
Crime and drugs and alcoholism among the homeless population are a worry.
“We’ve had a lot of stuff stolen. We’ve started over like seven times because all of our belongings are gone.”
All over the metro area and
foothills, homelessness has been
In Jefferson County, many of the homeless are originally from the area. There are no year round overnight shelters in Jefferson County, so people either create their own shelter in places like parking lots or open spaces, or head into Denver where there is overnight shelter. But during the day, many “They wind up coming back and they’re afraid. Because it’s too crowded. It’s overcrowded they say and there’s more crime in general,” said Karen Cowling, director of Mission Arvada at The Rising Church. “They prefer to be in the environment that they’re used to in a place where they feel safer.”
Originally Mission Arvada at The Rising Church was asked by the city to help provide services to a growing homeless population. Mass transportation helps people get back and forth from the city and is part of what made Arvada attractive to people experiencing
HOMELESSNESS
“The transit is right here. The parks and open space areas and restaurants and it’s a desirable place for people to be homeless and otherwise,” said Cowling. More and more people are seeking refuge here and in places like Lakewood and even Evergreen.
“For the last five years I would say, people are coming out into the suburbs,” said Cowling.
Vernon and her boyfriend moved from Florida where crime was a problem as well. “My older son moved here and he was like Mom come on and check it out,” she explained. He lives in Broomfield where he is concerned about his mother’s situation.
“He worries about me all the time,” said Vernon. “His wife’s like, he worries about you from the mo-
ment he wakes up until he goes to sleep.”
Now with more family news, she says she is thinking about nding housing and work.
“My youngest son’s going to have a baby. I just want a normal life back.”
In the past she has worked doing housekeeping and as a 7-11 clerk, which she says was her favorite job. With the help of Evergreen Christian Outreach she now has ID again.
“ ey got my ID for me so now I can get a job. Because I lost all my birth certi cate and everything but now I’m slowly getting it all back.” Vernon and her boyfriend, who does not come out of the shelter to talk, plan on getting to the bus in the morning to go down to Denver for services.

“Our economy and just the state of our situation in terms of not having enough mental health services and not having enough rehab and drug and alcohol treatment.”
Recently the mission has been under pressure to move from Olde Town due to a belief that o ering services attracts a homeless population, which has increased in recent years.

Je co School Board approves Moore/Pomona school consolidation
BY JANE REUTER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
e Je erson County School Board unanimously approved the consolidation of Westminster’s Moore Middle School and Arvada’s Pomona High School. Moore Middle School will close, and Pomona will become a 6-12 grade facility with the start of the 2024-2025 school year.
Principals of both northern Je erson County schools, located about a mile apart, proposed the plan. ey described it and the changes that will come with the merger as a vision for “a thriving 6-12 secondary experience.”
District leadership praised those who led the e ort during the June 22 board meeting. e consolidation is among several school closures planned districtwide due to declining enrollment. But unlike those districtinitiated proposals, the plan for the Pomona/Moore merger came from leaders at the two schools.

that came directly from the community to solve a challenge they feel every day,” said Lisa Relou, Je co Public Schools’ chief of strategy and communications. “ ey wanted to get ahead of the district in terms of coming up with their own solution.”
Both institutions have seen enrollment steadily decline. Pomona’s enrollment has dropped by about 15% over ve school years, and Moore’s by about 50%. In fact, Moore will be the smallest middle school in the Je co School District in the 2023-24 academic year.
Incoming Moore Middle School
Principal Tamsen Stokes, currently assistant principal at Golden High School, will oversee Moore’s nal year. She steps in for outgoing Principal Brenda Fletcher. Stokes expects the last year will be both exciting and bittersweet.
“Regardless of why, having to close a school is challenging for all involved,” she said. “Given the decreasing enrollment over past years, transitioning Pomona into a 6-12 school is a viable solution for the articulation area, but it’s just still a hard thing to do.
“ is year’s 8th graders have the opportunity to go to Pomona for some of the electives, and the following year, there will be more opportunities for students to engage with older students in some sort of mentorship,” she continued.
As students continue from the middle school grades to high school grades at Pomona, they may also be able to earn college credit and focus their studies in a particular career eld.
“Our intention is to be able to o er a more enriched experience for middle school-aged students than they would have in a traditional middle school,” Stokes said.
Stokes also wants to pay tribute to Moore Middle School in its nal year. e school has been part of the community since its construction in 1978.
“ is is a big transition for both the students, sta and the community,” she said. “I want to celebrate the history of Moore and also make sure students have a good experience this year, regardless of the change that’s coming.”
To make Pomona a 6-12 facility, plans call for creating a 6th and 7thgrade wing, separate from the rest of the school population, and adding a drop-o area for those younger students who don’t yet drive. e cafeteria will also be expanded to accommodate 6th through 9th-grade students who, unlike high school stu-
dents, likely will eat lunch on site. Cost estimates for the work are $1.8 to $2.5 million. Relou said the district likely could allocate about $1.8 million in unused funds originally designated for Moore improvements to the work at Pomona. Additionally, combining the two allows the school to maximize resources, enhance opportunities for all students and save an anticipated $1.1 million annually. District o cials don’t yet know the future of the building that now houses Moore Middle School, but said it will follow the property disposition process. rough that process, Jeffco school leaders will ask a diverse group of stakeholders to help determine the best use for each school that closes.
Where the West rides!
Bike Cruise participants saddle up for fun summertime rides
BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Goldenites were back in the saddle again June 27, as they donned their cowboy hats, untied their steeds from the hitching posts, and rode o into the sunset.
Hundreds of locals saddled up for the “Cowboys & Cowgirls”-themed Golden Bike Cruise, a summertime staple that fundraises for local nonpro ts.
e event, which is the last Tuesday of the month May through September, starts at the Armory parking garage and loops through north Golden before returning downtown.
e bike cruise also features music by a local band, Golden-based food and beer vendors, and other local sponsors.
Golden Community Commons, a subset of Calvary Church, hosts the event and partners with a di erent nonpro t each month to share revenues. For June 27, it was the Rotary Club of Golden.
e cruises, which started about
16 years ago, raises about $3,000 a year for Golden Community Commons and about $600 each for ve nonpro ts, organizers explained.
e event also has a di erent
theme each month, except for the September ride, which is always zombie-themed.
Organizers Peter Ewers and Jill Powers said June’s “Cowboys & Cowgirls” theme was coincidental, but saw how it aligned with Golden’s history and Old West feel.
“We are where the West lives,” Ewers said, referring to Golden’s iconic arch. “It’s a good way to harken to the past, as we enjoy today and look to the future.”
Rides can draw anywhere from 150-300 participants depending on the month and the weather. e May 30 event started with ominous clouds overhead, which Ewers and

Powers said might have warded o some riders, but it ended up being a nice evening.
Overall, though, the Golden Bike Cruise is truly a homegrown event, drawing mostly locals for quality community time each summer, Ewers described.
Joe and Cristin Lasser, for instance, have been bringing their kids since 10-year-old Ezra was a baby. ey’ve also started a tradition of celebrating Ayla’s birthday at the June bike cruise, and brought a cake and decorations for her fth birthday to the June 27 event.

It also worked out nicely that Joe’s band — Derek Hall & the Possibilities — played at the June 27 event.
Joe and Cristin said they return every summer because they love biking and the event’s sense of community, along with its vendors and music.
“It’s one of our favorite events in Golden,” Joe continued.
Meanwhile, the Taylor family members rode in their inaugural bike cruise after moving to Golden
last month from northern Virginia. ey described how they saw a yer in a downtown shop and decided to try it out.
e Taylors — parents Nicholas and Jordana, and children Clara, Devon and Zoe — all enjoy cycling. It was one of the reasons they moved to Golden, Nicholas described. So, they planned to participate in the summertime bike cruises as often as possible, with Jordana emphasizing how it’s an activity all of them can do together.
e next cruise on July 25 will be “Tropical Paradise”-themed. For more information, visit goldenbikecruise.com.

Colorado taxpayers should see hefty refund checks
Good news on revenues means more money coming back to residents
BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN
Colorado taxpayers will be sent even larger refund checks next year than expected after state tax revenues nished the scal year much higher than budget analysts for the legislature and in the governor’s ofce predicted.
e state may now have to refund nearly $1 billion more than originally expected, nonpartisan Legislative Council Sta and the governor’s Ofce of State Planning and Budgeting told state lawmakers in June, increasing refund checks by hundreds of dollars per person.Exactly how large those Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights refund checks will be remains in ux, in part because the number will be determined by whether voters pass Proposition HH in November, a 10-year property tax
relief plan from Democrats in the General Assembly and Gov. Jared Polis.
e legislature passed a bill in the nal three days of its 2023 lawmaking term, which ended May 8, that would make the refund check amounts the same for everyone if voters pass Proposition HH. ey were originally expected to be about $650 for single lers and roughly $1,300 for joint lers, but could now be roughly $850 for single lers and $1,700 for joint lers.
Last year, Colorado taxpayers received TABOR refund checks of $750 or $1,500 to account for surplus collected in the 2021-22 scal year, which ended June 30, 2022.
If Proposition HH fails, the refund checks would be tied to income levels. Under the default refund system — called the six-tier sales tax refund mechanism — people who make more money get bigger refund checks based on which of six income tiers they fall into.
People in the lowest tier, who make up to $50,000 a year, were expected to receive refund checks of $454 for single lers or $908 for

from LCS and OSPB. While the end of the scal year is fast approaching, it will be months before the state knows exactly how much money it collected over the TABOR cap.

e improved economic outlook would mean larger refunds for people in every tier, though people in the top tier would bene t most.
People in the lowest tier would now receive refund checks of $587 for single lers or $1,174 for joint lers. For those in the highest tier, the checks would now be $1,854 for single lers and $3,708 for joint lers.
e refund amounts are determined by how much money the state government collects above the TABOR cap on government growth and spending. e cap is calculated by annual growth in population and in ation.
Colorado taxpayers will get their refund checks next year after they le their taxes.
Nonpartisan Legislative Council Sta now expects the TABOR cap to be exceeded in the current 202223 scal year, which ends June 30, by $3.31 billion — an increase of roughly $600 million over what they projected in March.
e governor’s O ce of State Planning and Budgeting now expects the TABOR cap to be exceeded in the current scal year by $3.527 billion — an increase of about $870 million over what they projected in March.
Greg Sobetski, the chief economist for Legislative Council Sta , called the increases a “signi cant upward revision.”
Both LCS and OSPB said betterthan-expected corporate income tax revenue was a large driver of the improvements.
e updates were presented to the legislature’s Joint Budget Committee, which received its quarterly economic and tax revenue forecasts
Legislative Council Sta and the governor’s O ce of State Planning and Budgeting forecasts state government to collect tax revenue in excess of the TABOR cap through at least the 2024-25 scal year, which ends June 30, 2025.
Emily Dohrman, an economist with Legislative Council Sta , said the risk of recession has also decreased.
“ e economy is still showing positive growth, but slower growth than what we saw through most of 2022,” she told the JBC. “Our forecast is anticipating that growth will continue to slow through the end of 2023 but then return to a more moderate pace of growth in 2024 and 2025.”
She said there’s still a risk of an economic downturn, but that risk is lower than it was in March.
Polis touted the forecasts presented to the JBC. He said Colorado’s economy remains strong and that it’s evidence the state “continues to be the best place to live, work and do business.”
e next quarterly tax revenue and economic forecasts will be presented to the JBC in September. e panel in November will begin drafting the state’s 2024-25 scal year budget, which takes e ect on July 1, 2024.
e full legislature will vote on the spending plan after it reconvenes in January.

Many adults with disabilities have few chances to travel. A group of them from Colorado went 5,000 miles for the Special Olympics.
BY ERICA BREUNLIN THE COLORADO SUNGrowing up in a world that often sees di erences as de ciencies, Shannon Brennan long ago learned to question the things that set her apart from others rather than embrace them.
For Brennan, 37, those di erences play out in the way she learns. e two halves of her brain don’t always communicate with each other, she said, so she sometimes struggles to understand speech.
Brennan was diagnosed with a genetic condition known as Fragile X syndrome at age 12, and is sometimes anxious and can quickly become overstimulated in large crowds or when bombarded by loud noises.
But last week, when Brennan found herself more than 5,000 miles away from her home in Aurora meeting people who navigate the world with their own set of special needs, she began to look at her di erences, well, di erently. “I just have challenges, but (my body) ain’t broken,” she said. “It’s ne. It just works in a di erent way. Just because it works di erently
than yours doesn’t mean it’s broken or damaged or anything.”

cal peers who want to learn how to be better allies, on excursions across the country and world. e getaways give adults with disabilities an opportunity to branch out of their everyday lives — much of which are often guided by other people like parents and job coaches — to explore new cultures and learn more about themselves.
ose kinds of treks can be rare for people with disabilities because so much of the world falls short in accommodating their needs, said Kendall Hagar, interim executive director of e Wayfaring Band.
“Every human being should belong in our world,” said Hagar, who has attention-de cit/hyperactivity disorder. “And we believe that folks with disabilities are not limited in their capacity to enjoy the full human experience and all of the things that that entails.”
e nonpro t, which has been whisking adults with disabilities to all kinds of destinations for nearly 11 years, also pushes for those individuals to be treated as the adults they are — rather than children.

that infantilization by doing very adult things,” Hagar said.
On past trips, that has included clinking drinks at biker bars and attending concerts. In Berlin, band members tried schnitzel for the rst time, shared a meter-long tray full of beers, checked out a marketplace, and visited both the Anne Frank Center and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe.
ey also watched Special Olympics athletes compete in swimming, soccer, cycling and equestrian events and made new friends from all over the world as they volunteered at the Games, welcoming attendees, o ering directions to spectators and energizing crowds.
Brennan, who was visiting Germany for the rst time, initially clammed up while thinking about introducing herself to volunteers and athletes from other countries. But with help from another band member, she overcame her hesitation and struck up conversations with strangers, exchanging ashy commemorative pins with many of them.
At the start of the Games, each team of athletes received pins decorated to re ect their country,
with the idea that they would be traded with other teams, carrying on a tradition that dates back to the 1920s. e Wayfaring Band brought their own pins, breaking through language barriers as they approached athletes and gestured at pins to swap.
Justin Pressel, another band member, gathered 13 pins, which he fastened to a lanyard, and in his time in Berlin got to know people from Israel, Japan and North Macedonia, among other places.
Pressel, 32, previously traveled to New Mexico and Seattle with e Wayfaring Band but had never ventured out of the country. His voyage to Berlin with 11 other band members marked one of his biggest steps beyond his comfort zone.
“I’m used to being alone at home playing video games,” said Pressel, who lives in Denver and also works full time at King Soopers.
He was in awe over an opening ceremony that featured lively, acrobatic performances and a parade of at least 170 countries, and he became mesmerized by soccer matches that were punctuated with slide tackles and collisions.
Pressel, who has cerebral palsy, had fun getting to know his fellow travelers and learning about their di erences — all while banding together with volunteers, fans and athletes at the Games to cheer
everyone on.
“Even though they’re rooting for (their) country, everyone’s the same,” Pressel said. “ ey’re all for the Special Olympics. at’s what’s great.”
Brennan’s trip overseas stopped before it even started. A three-anda-half month battle for an updated passport ended with her leaving for Berlin the day after she was supposed to y out with her bandmates. After the U.S. Department of State returned the initial application she mailed in, citing that it was incomplete without much more explanation, she struggled to nd an available appointment to renew her passport in person. She eventually secured an appointment in Kiowa, 45 minutes from her home, and paid an extra fee to expedite shipping.
Brennan waited a few more weeks while her passport was being processed and couldn’t get an answer from the passport agency about when she would receive her passport. e week she was slated to leave, she called U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet’s o ce to help rush the delivery of her passport. After more waiting and more frustration, she nally received her passport the day of her ight but not in time to catch it.
“It’s confusing,” Brennan said. “It’s really hard. Anybody but espe-
cially anybody who has a disability or some kind of di erence, it’s really, really di cult to understand.”
at hiccup was the rst of several the group encountered leading up to and during their time abroad as they noticed and experienced accessibility challenges at the Special Olympics — the one place designed speci cally for people with disabilities.
eir concerns started with ashing lights and loud music during the Games’ opening ceremony — special e ects that can be harmful to some people with sensory challenges. Band members also noted that bathroom spaces were not wide enough to t a wheelchair while some wheelchair-accessible ramps were often far from the areas where spectators led in to watch events.
And in Berlin, a steep set of stairs down to the subway and narrow sidewalks created additional hurdles for people who rely on wheelchairs.
“Accessibility is hard,” Hagar said, “and it takes work. And even folks that are doing the work still have learning to do. And I can’t imagine how much work it was to put on this massive global event and the logistics that it involved, and there’s always room for improvement.”
SEE TRAVEL, P23
Sometimes we just have to laugh at ourselves, right? Or is it that sometimes we just have to laugh with ourselves? I am not laughing at you; I am laughing with you kind of thinking as we look in the mirror. My laughing at myself moment came the other day while I was traveling. I had boarded my flight and was checking my email on my phone before we took off.
As I tried loading my email app, it took about 8 seconds. And in those 8 seconds I became frustrated and thought why is this taking so long? Cue the laughing at myself.
Each year as technology advances our need for speed seems to advance with it. We want information and we want it now. We not only want it now, but we also expect the information to be fed to us before we even have to think about it, we train the technology to understand what we like and want before we ever even have to search for it, we simply turn on our device and lo and behold there
Moving at a snail’s pace WINNING
it is waiting for us to consume it.
In a recent meeting with a partner, they were discussing how their technology could serve up information in real time, measuring response times in milliseconds. Again, we have become a culture that has a need for speed, instant gratifica-
As I came across a snail the other day, I watched it move slowly across the pavement. And I found myself fascinated by the slow and deliberate pace of the snail. So in that moment I reflected on my own need for speed. Although I can’t slow down advancements in technology that are designed to speed things up, nor can I or should I worry about others and their need for speed, I can decide when it’s time to slow things down for
myself. Can my walks along the shoreline be a little slower so I can appreciate the sounds of the waves lapping against the sand, taking in the salt air, and maybe finding a unique shell or piece of sea glass? Can my hikes in the mountains be slowed down just a bit so I can take in the wildflowers, watch the streams rushing down the mountainside, or look out at the amazing vistas from the openings through the trees?
We are definitely a society on the go. We want the speed limits to be higher, our flights to get us to our destination faster. We want our meals delivered to our homes or tables in unreasonably fast times. We expect the elevator to show up as soon as we press the button. It’s the pace of the race these days that we are trying to keep up with and the pace is getting quicker and quicker each day.
I thought about the snail again. And as I did, I was reminded that moving at a snail’s pace is okay sometimes. I enjoy a slow brewing pot of coffee as it fills the
kitchen with that beautiful coffee aroma. I love reading and spending time slowly letting the story develop and not racing to finish the book. I find it so much more meaningful to pray slowly as it connects me at a deeper level to those I am praying for and to my faith. And when I can slow down enough before rushing out of the house to write notes to my family and leave them around the house, it makes everyone feel so loved and appreciated. Is it time to slow down a bit for you? Are you running a race that just gets faster and faster all the time? I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail. com, and when we can move at a snail’s pace sometimes, it really will be a better than good life.

Sci-Fi Film series is back for another year of education, entertainment
Sci-Fi lms are some of the most innovative and impactful to ever be put on screen — just look at the way lms like “2001: A Space Odyssey,” Star Wars, “ e Matrix” have inspired and directed popular culture. Few genres capture audiences’ imagination like sci- . is at least partly explains why Denver Film and the Denver Museum of Nature & Science’sannual Sci-Fi Film Series has become one of the signature events of the year.
“After 13 years, this is Denver Film’s most popular series,” said said Vincent Piturro, Ph.D., professor of lm and media studies at MSU Denver, who co-presents at each screening. “We want audiences to come away with the idea that art and science can work together — they’re not at odds.” is year’s series kicks o on Wednesday, July 12 with the throwback classic,“THEM!,” then moves to “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” on July 19, followed by“Nope” on July 26, Brendan Fraser’s“ e Mummy” on Aug. 2, “Beyond the In nite Two Minutes” on Aug. 9 and“Little Shop of Horrors” on Aug. 16. Screenings will be held at the Sie Film Center, 2510 E. Colfax Ave. in Denver, and the Denver Museum of
Nature & Science’s new In nity eater, 2001 Colorado Blvd.
“For our series, science ction is very di erent than what many people might think,” Piturro said.
“Many people hear sci- and think aliens and outer space, but we go beyond far beyond that.”
According to provided information, each screening begins at 6:30 p.m. and is followed by a discussion led by Piturro, featuring a range of experts in di erent elds, including zoology, paleobotany and anthropology.
“ e scientists come up with the list of lms and we work to get diverse movies from all over the world,” Piturro said.
“ is year is an eclectic bunch, but what we’ve discovered is that sci- lms say more about the time period the lm was made than when the story is set. So, that always makes for interesting conversation.”

Mosquito season is here, worsened by rainfall
BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
e trees are green, the grass is lush and all the rainfall brought some much-need moisture to the Denver metro area. However, the added wetness this spring also means a lot of standing water, which is prime breeding ground for mosquitoes.
More mosquitoes means more bites and a possible increase in West Nile virus cases. Mosquitos are most active between May and October each year. West Nile virus cases tend to increase in August and September.
In 2022, Colorado led the nation in West Nile virus, with a con rmed 152 positive cases. In 2021, Colorado ranked second, falling behind Arizona.
Dr. Mark Montano, medical director of CareNow Urgent Care Clinics, said urgent care centers across the metro area are starting to see patients complaining of multiple mosquito bites. While none has been too serious, and Montano said they do not test for West Nile, the added rainfall this year means residents should think of prevention over reaction.
“When it comes to mosquitos the biggest concern on our end is the diseases they can carry,” Montano said. “In most years a lot of these areas are usually dried up by July, but this year is di erent.”
Montano said the rst line of defense has to be eliminating standing water and consistently using repellent.
Paul Galloway, the marketing and communications manager with
the Division of Disease Control for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, said this year could be a challenge.
“Last winter’s heavy snowpack and the wet spring we’ve had in Colorado are already causing an increase in mosquitoes in some areas,” he said.
So far, Galloway said the biggest increase has been in Aedes vexans mosquitos, which do not transmit human diseases but are named for being aggressive biters.
As summer continues, Galloway said, state health o cials are just starting to see a shift from Aedes mosquitos to the Culex mosquitos, which can transmit diseases such as the West Nile virus.
“While we do expect to see more Culex mosquitoes this summer,” Galloway said, “more mosquitoes does not always result in more human infections. We have not seen any mosquitoes with the virus yet, but it’s important to use insect repellent and empty or treat sources of standing water.” is includes everything from plant pots and rain barrels to ooded streams and elds. People should empty standing water from tires, cans, owerpots, clogged gutters, rain barrels, birdbaths, toys, and puddles around their home at least once every week, Galloway said.
Standing water is a breeding ground for all kinds of mosquitos as these areas are where they lay eggs.
Montano said everyone should be using repellent outdoors. Montano said mosquitoes are most aggressive in the early morning hours and eve-

ning, warning hikers and bikers to get prepared rather than dealing with the itching and rami cations later.
While mosquito bites are generally annoying more than anything, Montano said there are instances where a person can have a bad reaction. Topical creams such as Hydrocortisone and Benadryl can be useful, he said.
However, if a person sees unusual swelling in the bite area and has an abnormal allergic reaction, Montano recommends seeking care because added oral or steroid treatment may be required.
Galloway said most people infected with West Nile virus don’t have symptoms. About 20% of infected people will have u-like symptoms, and fewer than 1% develop a serious, potentially deadly illness.
Galloway said people aged 60 years and older and those with certain
medical conditions are at greater risk of serious illness.
Montano said if when someone is having severe headaches or experiencing confusion from a mosquito bite they should seek medical care immediately.
Other tips provided by the state health department include:
Use insect repellents when you go outdoors. Repellents containing DEET, picaridin, IR3535, oil of lemon eucalyptus, or para-menthane-diol products provide the best protection. For more information about insect repellents visit the EPA’s information webpage. Always follow label instructions. Limit outdoor activities at dusk and dawn, when mosquitoes are most active. Wear long pants, long-sleeved shirts, and socks in areas where mosquitoes are active. Spray clothes with insect repellent for extra protection.

How to take up running, from starting out to marathons
BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Roxane Geisler started running in high school as a new challenge — somebody told her she should run cross country.
“I didn’t even know how to run a mile,” said Geisler, who is now president of the Highlands Ranch Running Club.
Getting into running “just gradually happened for me,” said Geisler, who is 54. “Suddenly, I was like, ‘Oh, I really do enjoy it, and I love getting out and seeing the views.’”
For people who are inexperienced at running but want to improve, it’s key not to be intimidated, Geisler said.
“A lot of people think, ‘Oh, I can’t join the running club because I’m not a real runner.’ And that’s totally silly,” Geisler said. “If you run, you’re a runner.”
Ryan Marker, an assistant professor who teaches exercise physiology at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, said it’s important for beginners to start slow. “Setting appropriate expectations, I think, is really important,” Geisler said. “So if someone’s never run before, you’re not going to get o the couch and do a marathon.”
But with the right plan, even beginners can work their way up to a marathon within months. (Here’s a tip: You don’t have to run the whole thing.)
Here’s some advice on how to start running or take your training to the next level.
Part of the group
One thing that can help you get into running: nding a group of runners to keep you moving.
When Geisler moved to Highlands Ranch in 2003, she noted how many people were out running by themselves.
She learned about the Highlands Ranch Race Series, and part of the idea behind starting her running club was to get some runners to train together.
“It makes running so much easier, training so much easier, when you have people to train with,” Geisler said.
And the people she’s met through her club “were a tremendous in uence on me — just people who really push themselves and try to get the best out of themselves,” said Geisler, who has run marathons.
e club provides a communal atmosphere:
LONG RUN
Runners don’t just work out but also make connections in her group. “De nitely lots of friendships have formed, and even a few people have met their spouses,” Geisler said.
Starting out
For beginners who are getting over the initial hump of starting to run, it’s important not to bite o more than you can chew, said Marker, who works in the department of physical medicine and rehabilitation at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus.
“If you’re just starting, even running for a mile, say — or even less than that — is meaningful,” Marker said.
Another strategy, he said, is to remember you don’t have to run consistently for a whole workout.
“Run for ve minutes and walk for two,” Marker said as an example of setting planned walk intervals. at method “can help people build up their initial capacity.”
For runners ages 35 and up, Geisler said starting slow can help, like working toward a goal of “I’m going to run this whole mile without walking,” she said. “And then go from there.” Also important: making sure you have the right running shoes for you. Geisler recommends getting a shoe tting at a specialty running store like Runners Roost.
“You can really get injuries if you don’t have the right footwear,” Geisler said.
Mental game
“Running is a mental sport” is a cliché for a reason — getting your mind used to running is a big part of the battle.
Di erent strategies can help you tackle the mental aspect of running, according to Marker.
“One very accessible one is goal setting … maybe you’re someone that really thrives on, you know, competition, getting a personal best,” Marker said. For those people, always having an appropriate race that you’re training for can help.
For others, distraction works well, so nd a good music playlist or podcast or audiobooks, Marker suggested.
Or opt for using running as a headclearing experience.
“I can almost do a mindfulness type of thing in running,” Marker said, adding: “Especially if you’re trail running, it can make you stop thinking of other things.”
Gearing up for a marathon
For those who aim to run a marathon — about 26 miles or 42 kilometers — it’s a good idea to schedule an initial training plan of at least six months, Marker said.
For inexperienced runners, there’s “not a small chance that you may get injured in that time, so you want to incorporate some bu er room,” Marker said. at’s partly so if you do develop an injury, you can adjust your training instead of trying to push through the pain and making it worse.
Expecting a long training period can help you eld interruptions that
may pop up.
“Life happens,” Marker said, adding that if you have a busy week at work, for instance, and are not able to stick with your training plan, there’s no need to feel that you’ve failed and have to stop.
In terms of distance, “you want to get in at least one longer run a week,” Marker said.
Expect to run three to four days per week at minimum and six days per week at most.
at’s because runners need to incorporate rest periods to avoid overtraining problems, Marker said, adding that it’s important to give your body time to adapt.
It may surprise you to hear that you shouldn’t be about to keel over throughout your run when training for a marathon.
“It’s not a bad idea to keep most of your training at moderate intensity,” said Marker, who referenced “the talk test.”
at’s “the idea that you’re doing moderate intensity exercise if you’re able to relatively easily carry on a conversation (while) you do that exercise,” Marker said.
If it gets so hard to breathe that you can’t say more than a few words without pausing for breath, that would be higher-than-moderate intensity.
In “the marathon, you’re going to be going at a relatively steady pace for a long period of time,” Marker said, adding it’s a good idea for your training to re ect that pace.
Yes, runners walk
You could call it running or “com-
pleting” a marathon.
“ ere’s no shame if you incorporate walking into a marathon,” Marker said.
“When you get to the elites, they’re running the entire time, and they’re running a pace that people, even me, couldn’t keep up even a 10th of the distance,” said Marker, who has done a couple marathons and one ultramarathon. (An ultramarathon is anything longer than a marathon, he said. e one he did was 50 miles.)
For walking, the biggest tip is making sure it’s planned, Marker said.
“ e moment you start walking because you’re tired,” that can be “game over,” he said.
He added: “You want to have more ‘on’ than ‘o ’ — not ending up with a 50/50 split” of time spent running and walking.
Fuel on the way
Something else you might not know: People training for marathons eat while on the run. at could be energy gels or bars, Marker said.
“I’d say if your long runs are starting to get longer than an hour, that might be a good time to gauge how you’re feeling,” Marker said, adding it could help to start bringing food with you.
Hit the gym
Strength training — not just running — can be key to pushing your running further, as it can help with injury prevention.
“If someone has the time and they’re able to incorporate strength training into their routine,” Marker said, “it can de nitely help them.”
Colorado steps up mpox vaccination campaign
in the United States last summer, is primarily among men who have sex with men and is believed to be spreading mostly through sexual
Vaccination remains limited to those who are currently most at-risk for exposure. at includes:
BY JOHN INGOLD THE COLORADO SUNColorado health o cials are launching a new vaccination campaign after a handful of cases of mpox, the viral disease formerly known monkeypox, have been identi ed in the state in recent weeks.
Dr. Rachel Herlihy, the state epidemiologist at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, said three cases were identi ed in June and one in May. She said some of the cases involved out-of-state travel and two of the cases were linked to each other.
While the numbers are still small — and nowhere near what Colorado experienced last year — Herlihy said the state is hoping to get ahead of any case surge this summer, when people are more likely to congregate at events and potentially spread the virus.
“We are in a much better place than we were last year,” Herlihy said, noting that, in addition to the availability of vaccine, there is also much better public awareness about the disease, better testing and more tools with which to treat it, such as the antiviral drug Tpoxx.
Mpox is a distant, less-severe
cousin of smallpox that is most commonly associated with a painful rash that may initially look like blisters or pimples. But the disease can also cause u-like symptoms, appearing either before or after the rash.
e virus is spread through close contact or through handling infected items like bed linens, and it has the ability to infect anyone given the right transmission environment. e current outbreak, which rst began
e U.S. has seen more than 30,000 cases of mpox since the start of the outbreak, with more than 400 of those occurring in Colorado. Cases in Colorado peaked in August and have been steadily declining since then. Prior to the most recent cases, the last time Colorado recorded a new mpox infection was in January.
Similar to Colorado, the U.S. as a whole is also seeing a slight resurgence in mpox cases — including a cluster of dozens of new cases in Chicago this spring. ose cases in Chicago are especially interesting to epidemiologists, though, because many of those infected had been vaccinated against mpox. e vaccine has previously proven highly e ective at preventing infection, and researchers at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have suggested that waning immunity, an increase in exposures or vaccine mishandling could explain the large number of breakthrough cases in Chicago.
Herlihy said, of the four recent Colorado cases, two were in people who had received the full two-dose vaccine regimen and one was in someone who was unvaccinated. Case investigators are still working to determine the vaccination status of the fourth person.
Despite the breakthrough cases, Herlihy said the vaccine is still showing e ectiveness at limiting the severity of illness, making it important for people to get vaccinated — though state and federal o cials are not recommending a booster dose to those already fully vaccinated.
Vaccines are available at several public health departments and clinics across the state. Go to CDPHE’s website to nd a vaccine provider or to sign up to get vaccinated at a mobile clinic.
- Anyone who has had close physical contact in the past 14 days with someone who had mpox,
- Anyone who has multiple or anonymous sexual partners,
- Anyone who has had close physical contact with someone in a venue where anonymous or group sex occurs,
- Anyone who was diagnosed with gonorrhea or syphilis in the previous 6 months,
- Anyone who is living with HIV,
- Anyone who is immunocompromised and anticipates they may be exposed to mpox in the future,
- Anyone who is already eligible for HIV PrEP drugs,
- Anyone who has sex in exchange for money, shelter, food and other goods or needs,
- And anyone whose sexual partner is eligible for mpox vaccination. Herlihy said people may also want to consider limiting their number of sexual partners for the time being or having only partners they already know.
While she remains hopeful that the ongoing outbreak can eventually be stopped, she said Colorado is likely to continue seeing at least some mpox cases. Flare-ups around the globe, and the ease of national and international travel, make it unlikely the state can fully keep the virus outside its borders.
“ ere’s always going to be the potential for re-introduction,” Herlihy said. “For the time being, at least, I think we will continue to see sporadic cases occurring.”

Researchers see a future for psychedelic therapy
Fort Collins study looks at potential uses of LSD
BY LEIGH PATERSON KUNC
Interest in the possible mental health bene ts of psychedelics is growing as experiments to better understand these substances are moving ahead.
In Fort Collins, researchers at the Wholeness Center are examining the potential therapeutic use of LSD and, in particular, how — and at what dosage — it may impact people with generalized anxiety disorder.
After a lengthy screening process, study participants go to the Wholeness Center for a 12 hour day with two therapists. ey are unaware of what they will be swallowing: a placebo or various amounts of LSD.
“Particularly through the second hour or the third hour, people are in a very di erent frame of mind,” Dr. Scott Shannon, one of the principal study investigators, said of the people who get LSD instead of the placebo. “ e trees may be breathing, the couch may be moving. And some people will nd this incredibly curious. Other people may be a little intimidated.”
e two therapists are there to
reassure participants and calm them down. e experimental sessions taking place in Fort Collins are part of a larger study at 20 sites across the country funded by MindMed, a New York-based biotech company. e company plans to announce topline data from the clinical trials later this year.
“I tell people it’s like, if we’re living our life every day at street level then psychedelics are kind of like going up into a hot air balloon, or maybe even in a satellite, and you’re looking at your life in a very di erent way, and insights come,” Shannon said. “ ey can be scary sometimes. ey can be terrifying.”
is experiment on LSD and anxiety is part of a much larger push to understand how various psychedelics can be used to treat mental health conditions. e e ort involves support from corporations, universities and nonpro ts. Earlier this year, the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus announced an upcoming clinical trial to test whether psilocybin can help with treatment-resistant depression.
Past research e orts have indicated that psilocybin—also called magic mushrooms—can ease anxiety, particularly for cancer patients.
“We have some suggestion that psychedelics can be helpful for
anxiety, and this is a study to try to test that,” Shannon said. this quote was a little long and wordy, I think it can be shortened. e rest has already been explained outside of the quote.
Much of this research has been on hold for decades. After widespread use in the 1960s, the federal government classi ed psychedelics as Schedule 1 drugs, meaning they lack an accepted medical use and have a high potential for abuse.
“It really shut down research in this country for a long, long time. And it’s now just restarting,” Shannon explained.
Eventually, researchers began requesting licenses from the federal government to study some psychedelics. After encouraging results, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has allowed some of this work to move ahead more quickly by granting “breakthrough therapy” status to certain substances.
Luke Niforatos, the CEO of Protect Our Kids, a group that ghts for more restrictive drug policies and recently opposed Colorado’s ballot measure to decriminalize magic mushrooms, believes in the importance of following the FDA’s process.
“I think the concern that I have is, we’re seeing a lot of kind of breathless rhetoric around the...miracle drug potential of psychedelics,” Luke Niforatos, the CEO of Protect Our Kids, a group that ghts for more restrictive drug policies and recently opposed Colorado’s ballot measure to decriminalize magic mushrooms, said.
Niforatos points to the risks of other drugs like opioids and cannabis. In MindMed’s LSD trial in Fort Collins, some groups are excluded from participation: pregnant women and people with a history of psychosis.
at’s because the risks of using psychedelics in these populations are not fully understood.
“ at’s not to say that these drugs don’t do what everyone’s really excited about,” Niforatos said. “But what it does mean, though, is it’s still early.”
Research into a psychedelic called MDMA could be entering its nal
phase before possible FDA approval.
Berra Yazar-Klosinski, the chief science o cer with the MAPS Public Bene t Corporation, said MDMA is further along in the process than other psychedelics thanks to a growing body of research on using it to treat mental health issues in conjunction with therapy.
She remembers looking over the results from a phase three clinical trial on using MDMA to treat Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, published in 2021 in the journal Nature Medicine. 88% of the participants experienced a meaningful change in their symptoms. Around two-thirds no longer met the criteria for a PTSD diagnosis.
“Oh, my gosh. It was so exciting,” Yazar-Klosinski said of the results.
Later this year, Yazar-Klosinski will be walking the FDA through the data as part of a larger request to approve MDMA-assisted therapy.
“It was such a huge surprise that everybody was just shocked and very happy for the PTSD patients and what this could mean for them,” YazarKlosinski said.

BY ERIC GALATASOne in ve teens in the U.S. will experience a mental health challenge before they turn 18, but 64% of them won’t seek help.
A new training program is turning to teens to get their peers connected to the resources they need to turn things around.
Betsy Molgano, program director for Mental Health First Aid Colorado, said young people are in a unique position to identify warning signs. Maybe someone they know has been withdrawing from friends, or they used to enjoy soccer and now they aren’t showing up for practice.
“You’re not diagnosing this person, you’re just kind of noticing a change in behavior or appearance,” Molgano explained. “ e training is supposed to help kids feel more comfortable to approach someone and to be like ‘I’ve noticed that there is a change in your typical behavior. Do you want to talk about it? Is everything OK?’”
According to the 2021 Healthy Kids Colorado Survey, nearly 40% of high school students said they experienced symptoms of depression in the last year, and 17% said they had seriously considered suicide. Suicide is the third leading cause of death for kids aged 15 to 19.
Maranda Miller, mental health rst aid coordinator at Centennial Men-
tal Health Center, said Colorado has taken steps to help young people, including o ering free mental health therapy for all youth through a legislatively funded program called I Matter. She encouraged all school districts, even those with tight training budgets, to explore local training opportunities at mentalhealthrstaid.org.
“We know that there’s a huge return on investment if our youth know that they can help each other, that they can help themselves, and that there are highly vetted, highly trained resources available to them,” Miller outlined.
Molgano noted the Teen Mental Health First Aid training helps young people learn how to get their peers
to address mental health and substance use challenges, how school violence and bullying impacts mental well-being, and how to get help from trusted adults and mental health professionals.
“It helps arm kids with the tools that they need to not only help themselves understand what’s going on in their own lives -- and what they might be dealing with -- but also to be on the lookout for what might be going on with their friends, and help build a stronger community,” Molgano emphasized.

Denver Public Schools appeals release of recording of closed-door board meeting about police
BY MELANIE ASMAR CHALKBEAT COLORADODenver Public Schools is resisting releasing a recording of a March closed-door meeting of the school board as a Denver District Court
judge had ordered the district to do.
DPS has appealed the district court ruling to the Colorado Court of Appeals. e school district’s
TRAVEL
Other challenges for groups of travelers during previous trips and even at home have been prompted by people rather than places. For instance, while The Wayfaring Band was exploring Seattle last summer, a woman collecting tickets for a ferry ride belittled the troupe as they boarded.
“She was saying things like, ‘Why are you so slow? Are you an idiot? What’s wrong with you?’” Hagar recalls.
That moment sticks with Pressel, who kept walking but grew quietly angry as the woman con-

lawyers had indicated at a court hearing earlier this month that they would continue to oppose the release of the recording of the vehour meeting.
e meeting, called an executive session, occurred on March 23, one day after an East High School
tinued her outburst.
But the accessibility setbacks the group faced in Berlin didn’t completely cloud their trip. Instead, band members encouraged one another to be open about their needs and be brave enough to ask for help.
Traveling with the band led Sophia Calderón, a freelance photographer who shadowed band members and documented their days in Berlin, to be more aware of how she carries herself and the ways she views spaces.
“I’m also in this space of my life where I’m ready to unlearn a lot of the structures that society has implemented in our minds,” Calderón said, adding that she wants people to understand that individuals with disabilities de-

serve autonomy and can give help as easily as they receive it.
As a group in Berlin, The Wayfaring Band formed its own sense of community during their nearly week and a half of travels — one that surrounded Brennan with the kinds of meaningful friends she’s been searching for, especially after a recent divorce chipped away at her ability to trust others.
“They really helped build that for me, at least like the first building block of trusting people a little bit more,” she said.
And they have helped her embrace the differences she has spent so much of her life questioning.
“The culture of our group is the way that I wish the world operated, where folks are just on a regu-
not properly noticed and that the board made its decision in private, despite the public vote. State law says the “formation of public policy is public business and may not be conducted in secret.”
Denver District Court Judge Andrew Luxen listened to the recording and ruled in favor of the media organizations in June. He ordered DPS to release the recording publicly late last month.
But DPS’s appeal now puts the
lar basis supporting each other with whatever they need and remembering that we are different and yet we are all on the same team,” Hagar said. “We all want happiness. We all want peace in our lives. We all want a life of adventure and beauty, and … we can lean on each other to get all of those things. And it actually makes it more magical when we get to do it all together.”

In its notice of appeal, the school district’s lawyers asked the appellate court to consider whether the district court judge was wrong to listen to the recording and determine that the discussion in the executive session did not meet the criteria under state law for when boards can meet privately.

Triple Crown International Challenge brings softball’s best to Colorado
30 teams representing countries around the globe clash in Westminster during third annual event
BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Explosive cheers. e battle rhythm of drums. Air horns. All that and more collided in the air all day long, creating a festive and, at times, intense atmosphere around the Christopher Fields Softball Complex in Westminster. irty teams representing countries around the globe put on a wild showcase on the diamonds.
“For one weekend a year, they get a chance to [ditch their travel uniforms] and put a country in front of their jersey,” said Manny Travieso.
e event is the result of a partnership between Colorado’s Triple Crown Sports, and the ELLA Sports Foundation, a nonpro t whose mission is to level the playing eld for Latina and girl athletes as a whole.
Travieso is director of sports programming at ELLA, which stands for Empowering Leadership in Latina Athletes. It also means “she” in Spanish.
e event itself isn’t limited to girls with Spanish-speaking or Latina backgrounds. It’s meant to connect players to their family heritages.
e Triple Crown International Challenge brings an electric environment and the Westminster complex has played host to it since 2021. e competition this year ran June 22-26. Friends and family from all over the country came to support their players.
e event was created, Travieso said, to showcase elite softball players in front of college coaches scouting for talent and in front of national Olympic teams. Also, to allow players from di erent nationalities and backgrounds to play for a country they could never otherwise play for due to political laws or Olympic restrictions, such as Cuba, Japan, or the Middle East
In the three-ish years since it was formed, Travieso said more than 45 di erent athletes have played in federations or national Olympic teams around the world largely due to the exposure from this event alone.
Colorado provides both the premier facilities in Westminster and an ideal middle-ground location in general for the athletes and their
families, he said, many of which are traveling from as far as Florida, New York, and California.
“ is is the best of the best from all over the United States,” Travieso said. “College coaches can come over here and see the best talent possible. Every year it gets bigger and bigger and bigger.”
Adam Glickman, is the father of Kaia Glickman, who played in the inaugural Triple Crown event in 2021.
Kaia has since played in college, and is playing in the 2023 Canada Cup in July for Israel’s women’s national team. Adam Glickman praised the event for the opportunities it produces for athletes all over the country.
“[ is event] is an unusual opportunity for these girls and their families to connect softball to something other than their club or their high school, but to connect it to a nationality, a heritage,” Glickman said.
“ at goes deep. at’s your grandparents. at’s your extended family. ey all get to take enormous pride when they see that kid with that ag and the name of the country. You’re playing for your family pride.”
You put together not just one, but more than 15 or 20 of those kids and their families, and it becomes playing for something much bigger than
yourself, Glickman said. e experience is di erent for every team, he explained. In Team Israel’s case, Israel is such a new country, relatively speaking, only born decades ago.
For their players and their families, it’s not about having a relative that’s from Israel, but it’s about recognizing Jewish culture and identity, he said.
“For a lot of our girls that come from 15 di erent states, very often they’re the only Jewish kid on the softball team,” Glickman said. “ ere are no others, so they feel isolated. It’s hard for them to connect their Jewish life or their Jewish identity with the game they love. Finding others, it’s this idea, ‘Wait a second, there are other Jewish softball players who can play at this level?’ at’s extra special.”
For German Caravaca, the coach of the 18U Central America team, which represents several di erent countries, it’s about visibility and expanding the opportunities for his players at the next level and beyond.
He said three players from last year’s Central America team are playing for the women’s national team in Guatemala this year.
“My goal is for these players to have fun, come out here and excel, but also have those people from na-
tional teams watch them play,” Caravaca, from Florida, said. “Hopefully they understand and see the value of these girls. Even though they’re born here, they’re still descendents from those countries. ey can be out there and represent those countries worldwide.”
For the third straight year, the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC), working with ELLA, has assembled representatives from speci c countries that are looking for U.S. talent of their country’s heritage to play in upcoming international events and quali ers. is is the rst year the European Federation is taking part in the event. roughout the weekend, representatives from several di erent countries, including Panama, Nicaragua, Honduras, and more are keeping their eyes peeled for special players to potentially recruit. ey aren’t the only ones recruit-
Monica Harrison, head coach of the softball team at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, knows the pool of talent here is exciting.
She’s had players on her roster from this event before, so she’s familiar with the skill level on display in Westminster. at’s why she traveled across the country for a closer look.
“I’m looking for the ability to be able to diversify my roster,” Harrison said. “I think the game of softball is such an international sport, as you can see. e ability to have folks from di erent places being able to connect and play, that’s what I’m looking for.”
Seeing players become teammates so suddenly, but being brought together by a common heritage, is special. It’s also similar to how players acclimate to college play, she said.
You don’t have a lot of time to get to know your teammates before you must depend on one another to win games. Harrison said she’s looking for players who outmatch the intensity and passion of their relatives in the stands.
“To be able to see the leadership qualities and the ability to communicate, those are the little things that I’m looking for,” she said. “I’m always going to be able to see their visible skill. But it’s those intangible things that I’m able to see in these games that are going to make my team better. I want to see them bring the energy! At the end of the day, softball is such a fun sport. I

want to see that on the eld.” Opening ceremonies were canceled on June 22 due to rainy weather. But the sun came back out the following day, Friday, setting up a beautiful, full-slated weekend of softball. Champions were crowned after the nal games on June 25.
On June 26, national team evaluations and Olympic federation tryouts were held throughout the day at Waddell Park. e Triple Crown All-Academic Games were also held in Aurora, where 15 players from multiple teams competed in academic challenges. June 28 brought an all-world, allstar style competition consisting of the best players from all teams competing in two softball squads against one another back at the complex.

PUBLIC NOTICE
To: First Mortgagees of Units in Dakotah at Willow Springs Homeowners Association, Inc.
Date: June 29, 2023
Re: Notice of Proposed Declaration Amendment
The purpose of this letter is to provide a dated, written notice and convey a copy of the proposed Second/Third Amendments to the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Dakotah at Willow Springs (“Declaration Amendments”) by certified mail to your company, as a first mortgagee, at your company’s most recent address as shown on the recorded deed of trust or recorded assignment thereof, pursuant to C.R.S. § 38-33.3-217(1)(b)(I). Dakotah at Willow Springs Homeowners Association, Inc. (“Association”), through its Board of Directors and with the
assistance from legal counsel, has prepared the proposed Declaration Amendments to the existing Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Dakotah at Willow Springs to be recorded with the Clerk and Recorder’s Office for the County of Jefferson, Colorado on September 7, 1984 at Reception Number 84085141, as it may have been amended and supplemented from time to time (“Declaration”).
The consent of one hundred percent (100%) of first mortgagees is required to approve the proposed Declaration Amendments, pursuant to Article XVI, Section 4 of the Declaration of the Declaration. One amendment addresses the insurance obligations of the Association and the Owners and seeks to shift the responsibility to obtain and maintain property casualty insurance on the Units and any appurtenant Limited Common Areas (e.g., walkways, decks, patios, porches, planters, driveways, etc.) from the Association to the Owners. The second amendment addresses the uses for any levied special assessment and seeks to amend Article V, Section 4 of the Declaration to provide broader authority for the Association to use the proceeds of any levied special assessment.
A first mortgagee shall be deemed to have approved the proposed Declaration Amendments, if said first mortgagee does not deliver to the Association a negative response within sixty (60) days after the date of this notice, pursuant to C.R.S. § 38-33.3-217(1)(b)(II). You may deliver your response in writing to the Association, c/o Moeller Graf, P.C., 385 Inverness Pkwy., Suite 200, Englewood, CO 80112, but you are not required to respond.
Please review this notice carefully. It may affect first mortgagees’ rights in the Unit(s) within the Association’s community in which first mortgagees may have an interest.
A copy of the proposed Declaration Amendments may be obtained by contacting Moeller Graf, P.C., at 720-279-2568 or via email at bahmeti@moellergraf.com.
